Rakshanda Khan joins the cast of Naagin, in the third season. She is best known for playing grey-shaded characters like Mallika Seth in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin, and Tanya Virani in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, as well as a villain, Roshni Chopra in Kasamh Se

Naagin 3 cast members Rakshanda Khan and Chetan Hansraj having some fun at the launch of the show. It seems Chetan decided to do push-ups while Rakshanda decided to provide some motivation by sitting on his back! Hansraj essays a business tycoon on the show

Anita Hassanandani first forayed into the small screen world with the 2001 TV series Kabhii Sautan Kabhii Sahelii and became a household name as the lead Anjali in Kkavyanjali in 2005. She can be currently seen as Shagun Arora in Ye Hai Mohabbatein

Karishma Tanna says she felt overwhelmed when she was approached by Balaji Telefilms to play a shape-shifting snake in the third part of the popular supernatural show Naagin 3. Producer Ekta Kapoor announced the news of the actress joining the cast of the show on social media in April

Surbhi Jyoti garnered fame from the 2012 TV series Qubool Hai and has worked on the shows Ishqbaaaz, Tanhaiyan, Koi Laut Ke Aaya Hai and Dev. She was most recently seen in Comedy Dangal

Chetan Hansraj turns snake charmer and makes Naagin 3 co-stars Ankit Mohan and Pearl V Puri dance to his tunes! Chetan recently starred in the popular TV shows Chandra Nandini and Peshwa Bajirao. Ankit best known for his portrayals of Ashwathama in Mahabharat and Aakash in Kumkum Bhagya. Pearl was last seen playing Arjun Shastri in Naagarjuna – Ek Yoddha

There has been speculation that Naagin 3's story is similar to Manisha Koirala's film, Jaani Dushman. The show's first season had starred Mouni Roy, who was also a part of the second season. After essaying the character of a shape-shifting snake for two years, she bid adieu to the show — a move that she claims was "a tough decision."

Naagin 3 cast member Chetan Hansraj, who has been on the small screen for over a decade, says the only difference nowadays is the shooting locales. "We never went beyond Film City in Goregaon, now we shoot in Gujarat. It is a rather long journey indeed," he says

Naagin 3 is the fourth TV series in which Pearl V Puri will play the main lead. He portrayed the central lead in the shows Phir Bhi Na Maane...Badtameez Dil, Meri Saasu Maa and most recently Naagarjuna – Ek Yoddha
